I noticed you've given alternate names to the existing Ontario Line stations, but you've left the name Queen untouched. I know this is the way Metrolinx is doing things these days, but I really, really hate it. Same as Eglinton. Leaving interchange station names unchanged so that the name...

Maybe Ford got bored of dicking around with Peel Region. First they wanted to get rid of the region. Then they decided to keep it. Now they're talking about redrawing the boundary between Mississauga and Brampton to give Brampton the airport. Which I don't see Mississauga ever agreeing to, but...

Or "Brampton Innovation District GO"

I feel like we don't talk about this enough. One of the reasons people are so pro-subway is because there is protection from the elements. The lack of weather protection on parts of Eglinton and most of Finch and Hurontario and most of GO is a huge problem. IDC how often the train is supposed to...

Similarly there are still occasional signs that mistakenly number Hurontario within Mississauga (e.g. the Hurontario exit from 403, one of the short signs has the 10, whereas the majority of the signs are correct and don't show it.

Hurontario started construction basically at the same time as Finch. I don't think there was much opportunity to learn from either Eglinton or Finch. And what could we even change on Hurontario based on lessons from Finch or Eglinton? The stops are already significantly further apart. My main...

On the Milton line they cancelled a good number of trains. But Union also seemed less busy than normal. So I think a chunk of people stayed home today. In the morning the cancellation of trains seemed a bit premature. In the afternoon when it turned to snow, it looked to be snowing pretty hard...

I really cannot comprehend how only 45% of the track is done. It really seems like more. But of course, you can tell that this isn't opening this year when there are still intersections not done and not a single LRV has come down here, or gone on any of the track. I really thought drum was...

Honest question, how are they supposed to align them? With the staircase, or the hallway? I assume you can't do both.

I love this idea. Would be very helpful.

Ah OK. If I'm leaving later, it's usually quite a bit later and I take the 21 Milton bus or the Lakeshore West to Port Credit. I think I did take the 7:10 train once and I think you're right, it might have been 6 coaches. Luckily for me it doesn't matter anyway. And based on the amount of...

People will cut down those speed cameras multiple times, but they won't cut down this pole even once?

I don't see them switching back to the single letters. Best to just leave them as KI, MI, LW, LE, etc. But I agree with listing the destination, I think that makes sense. It's silly to call it a Kitchener train when it's only going as far as Bramalea.

I use Milton if I'm going at normal times. I always board at the first car from the locomotive because it's (a) the closest end to Hurontario at Cooksville and (b) the closest to Bay Street to walk up to Dundas. So the length of the trains is pretty much irrelevant to me. I know I've seen 10 and...

I'm a regular GO rider, and even I wouldn't know to board at the Bay concourse instead of the York concourse for a 6 coach train. That would be more useful information than saying it's a 6 coach train. Though that would take up more space on the board. I still think that would be more useful at...
